Feeling a little uncomfortable under Ming Qiancheng's gaze, Li Ji raised her hand to tidy a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you order me not to serve you?"
"I'm waiting for you to finish what you were going to say next."
Ming Qiancheng smiled slightly, his delicate and beautiful face stunning everyone who looked at him.
"..."
Heaven knows how much willpower Li Ji used to calm herself down. She bit her lower lip and said, "I want you to take me away from this brothel."
"reason?"
"I hate this place, and I want to leave every day!"
Li Ji said this almost through gritted teeth, and her expression made it clear that she wasn't lying.
Actually, Ming Qiancheng didn't doubt that she would lie; he just couldn't understand why she would rather be beaten than submit in this brothel.
Do humans also possess such pride?
Ming Qiancheng had never been in contact with humans before; Li Ji was the first.
"benefit?"
After learning the reason why Li Ji wanted to leave the brothel, Ming Qiancheng then asked what benefits he would receive.
"benefit?"
Probably not expecting Ming Qiancheng to ask this, Li Ji frowned slightly, "Isn't my serving you a benefit?"
"No, I paid for this. If you keep giving me the runaround tonight, you're in for a beating."
For the first time, Ming Beiya found humans so amusing that they were bold enough to make a deal with him.
"Then...how about I run away with you?"
After thinking for a while, Li Ji finally managed to say, "I earn more money than the top courtesan in the brothel now. I'm the madam's cash cow. If you want to take me away, you'll have to pay a high price to buy me. But I'm willing to run away with you, so you won't have to pay a single penny."
After listening to Li Ji's words, Ming Qiancheng thought for a long time before finally saying, "Good idea."
"Is it true, you are too..."
What do you take me for?
Before Li Ji could finish speaking, Ming Qiancheng interrupted her. The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and although he still had a faint smile on his face, he inexplicably exuded a terrifying aura.
It wasn't until this point that Li Ji realized she might have messed with someone not to be trifled with.
But things had already come to this point, and she had to climb up to Ming Qiancheng in order to leave.
"You just need to take me with you, and you won't lose out, and besides..."
"Then let's go."
This was the first time Ming Qiancheng had experienced being used. He knew perfectly well that Li Ji was only trying to use him to leave the brothel, yet she spoke as if he had gotten a huge advantage.
For this reason alone, Ming Qiancheng found her interesting and not bad at all amusing.
Upon hearing Ming Qiancheng's agreement, Li Ji almost jumped for joy. Her eyes suddenly brightened. "You agreed to my request?"
"Go open the window."
Ming Qiancheng spoke casually, his whole demeanor lazy, as if he did everything slowly and without any urgency.
Upon hearing this, Li Ji nodded and turned to prepare to open the window. As she passed by Ming Qiancheng, Li Ji secretly glanced at him again. His appearance was so stunning that it was etched into her mind and could never be forgotten.
Li Ji's heart was pounding, and it beat even faster when she opened the window. Although she didn't know why Ming Qiancheng wanted to open the window, she knew that she seemed to have fallen in love with this man at first sight...
Yes, love at first sight.
